Description: | A pilgrim badge with four incomplete lugs for attachment by stitching. The bust of a man with a moustache in low relief is edged by a cable-like motif, perhaps the beard, that ends above the forehead in two rounded lobes. The reverse is slightly hollowed. The bust may be St John the Baptist, a portion of whose skull was venerated in the cathedral of Amiens, although there is no great resemblance to the examples illustrated by Spencer (1998, 17-21. nos. 235-6). >33.5mm x >28.5mm. 13th - 15th century.
